In 1995, his tribute to Mexico's beloved Trio Los Panchos, Recordando A Los Panchos, earned him considerable acclaim and produced two major hits, "Miseria" and "No, No, Y No."
He owns and primarily lives in a huge ranch named 'Los Tres Potrillos" located between the cities of Guadalajara and Chapala Jalisco, Mexico. It was named after his three sons. It is complete with stables, 2 houses, a lake, high bred horses and a church. During Christmas time thousands of children go to this ranch where hundreds of thousands of dollars in Christmas gifts are given out.
He loves miniature horses and has bred them at his ranch, where he even has some as small as 6 inches.
In 2005, Fernández and his sons, Alejandro and Vicente Jr., made history by becoming the first Latin American singers to appear as cartoons in a video, for Vicente Sr.'s song, Al Mayor de los Fernandez (To the Oldest Fernández), dedicated to Vicente Sr.'s father.
Vicente has been married to Maria del Refugio Abarca Villaseñor since December 27, 1963. He has three sons with her: Vicente Jr, Gerardo, and Alejandro. His fans and the media refer to him as "Chente", a diminutive of his name out of affection but in interviews and events he is also addressed as Don Vicente out of respect. In Mexico he is referred to as "El Rey" (the king) and as "El Charro de Huentitán" (the Charro of Huentitan). His wife is affectionately known as Doña Cuca. Vicente, just like his son Alejandro, is notorious for being a ladies man and is often called a Don Juan. [1]
Vicente was involved in a scandal when it was made public that he had maintained a relation for ten years with Patricia Rivera, whom he met in 1977 while filming "El Arracadas". Years later she declared that her son, Pablo Rodrigo, was a product of that relation and Vicente recognized the son as his, giving him the Fernandez name. Afterwards DNA testing proved that Pablo was not his son.[2]
In 2004, while in concert in Miami's American Airlines Arena, Vicente had to pay $30,000 USD for having gone over the original scheduled time for the concert. He sang for three hours some of his all time hits as well as songs from his then new album "Se Me Hizo Tarde la Vida".[3]
Vicente has a star in Hollywood's Walk of Fame and his ceremony there was attended by over 5,000 people, breaking all previous attendance records.[4]
Vicente retired in 2016 in a massive concert in Estadio Azteca, Mexico city.
He fell from a horse in his rancho in august 2021, causing a rapid decline in his health. Vicente Fernandez, one of the greatest mexicans to ever live, passed away on December 12, 2021, from complications related to his fall.

POR UN AMOR
Vicente Fernández Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hay corazon, no sufras mas .
Por un amor,
me desvelo y vivo apasionado,
tengo un amor, en mi vida dejo para
siempre amargo dolor.
Pobre de mi, esta vida es mejor que se acave,
no es para mi, pobre de mi, pobre de mi,
cuanto sufre mi pecho que late tan solo por ti.
*coro*
Hay corazon, no sufras mas.
Por un amor, he llorado gotitas de sangre del corazon,
me a dejado con el alma herida sin conpacion.
pobre de mi, esta vida es mejor que se acave,
no es para mi, pobre de mi, pobre de mi,
cuanto sufre mi pecho que late, tan solo por ti.
The song "Por Un Amor" by Vicente Fernández reflects a deep feeling of passion and pain that stems from love. The chorus, which is repeated throughout the song, asks the heart not to suffer anymore. The lyrics suggest that the singer's life is consumed by this love, causing him great anguish and sorrow. He has given his heart completely to this love, which has resulted in endless sleepless nights and passionate agony.
The verses paint a picture of a love that has left the singer with a wounded soul, crying drops of blood from his heart. He is left in a state of despair and yearning; the love has caused him so much pain that he thinks that it would be better if life ends. However, even though he is in pain, he cannot forget this love, which has a hold on him so strong that his heart only beats for it.
Overall, "Por Un Amor" is a beautifully crafted song that reflects the intensity of emotions that come with love. The song's poignant lyrics and Vicente Fernandez's powerful voice give this song an everlasting emotional appeal that continues to touch hearts all around the world.
